Yup, it's me again!

I have one comment and a few questions:

[COMMENT:]

      Has anyone seen the <<<<COLOR!>>>> ad on page 14 of the November(?) issue
of _Scientific_American_ for the Portfolio? Two pages even!! Looks nice....
Too bad the ST isn't getting those kinds of advertisements.... :-)
 ^^^^^^^^^Believe it or not, that was not a bash. :-)

[Question 1:]

      Is it just my monitor or do all SM124's start to dim out when there is
very little 'white' on the screen?

[Question 2:]

      Where are all these old "29 Oct 89" articles coming from?

OOPS![Another Comment:] 

      Is there any particular reason why the person known as "BobR" had to
post a s--tload of articles on his dissatisfaction with Atari. Why not append
them all to one posting so I could 'n' them. Let's face it, I'm sick of hearing
about the faults of Atari. Some people are giving me the impression that Sam
and Jack Tramiel bought Atari for tens of millions of dollars just so they
could lose money on it and drive the corporation into the ground. Somehow that
doesn't strike me as reasonable. Surely they realize that they better get their
acts together, or they will lose the U.S. market. They know it. We as users
know it. So please! Enough with the Atari-bashing. It does no one any good.
Besides, this is a news group for Atari enthusiasts, not bashers. If you want
to bash, start a comp.sys.atari.st.bash. How about this one:
comp.sys.atari.st.bitch.and.complain.I.hate.atari...........

[This entire comment is MY OPINION. Please! No flames. They do just about as
much good as Atari bashing!]

XXXXTRa Comment:

How's this for an idea:

     Now that East Germany has opened its doors, this may be a great opportunity
to sell more ST's!!!!!  :-)   :-)

Thanks!
